The purpose of this mod is to give the player the option of using miniature armed Unmanned Ground Vehicles, or UGVs, somewhat similar to real-world TALON bots.

These UGVs are much lighter than X-COM HWPs but also noticeably cheaper, creating a viable scouting option that has some firepower too. The downside is that any hits scored by UGVs mean less experience for living soldiers.

Weapon options are a machine gun, a grenade launcher (which has arcing shots) and later a laser rifle.

The mod also contains upgraded versions of those basic UGVs that use alien alloys to improve performance. Even those are less armored than basic HWPs, though.

The mod should be compatible with most other mods. However, UGVs count as HWPs for the purpose of determining aircraft capacity, meaning that a classic Skyranger can only carry three of them (or a two plus one HWP/UGV combo ) and HWP capacity 1 aircraft would have to sacrifice HWP capacity to carry UGVs.
